Overview

ComplyDP, a Bengaluru‑based DPDP compliance platform operated by Nihonium Labs Private Limited, has introduced an all‑in‑one suite designed specifically for Indian financial institutions—including banks, NBFCs, insurers and capital‑market firms—to meet the requirements of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules, 2025.

Product Features

  • Neurosymbolic compliance: The platform encodes the DPDP Act and Rules into formal logic, allowing machine‑checkable rule evaluation, while AI language models are employed only for interpreting ambiguous legal text.
  • Zero‑PII ingestion: Proprietary connectors run inside the client’s environment, scanning databases, applications and file stores without copying personal data; only metadata and findings are transmitted back.
  • Data discovery, mapping and ROPA: The suite discovers where personal data resides across core systems, loan‑origination tools, call‑centre recordings, KYC folders, marketing platforms and vendor systems; it then maps flows and automatically generates a Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) detailing collection purpose, legal basis, storage location, sharing parties and retention periods.
  • Multi‑entity group coverage: For complex financial groups with separate banking, NBFC, insurance, broking and technology subsidiaries, the platform maps cross‑entity data flows, identifies the accountable fiduciary for each dataset, and records consent or legal basis for intra‑group sharing, including flows to the Central KYC Registry and security‑interest filings with CERSAI.
  • Unified breach response: A single workflow tracks breach‑related reporting obligations across DPDP (report to Data Protection Board within 72 hours), CERT‑In (within six hours), RBI and SEBI specific cyber‑resilience requirements, automatically generating regulator‑specific notices and evidence.
  • End‑to‑end compliance suite: The platform progresses an organisation from “zero” (no knowledge of data locations) to “one” (demonstrable compliance) through a public readiness scan of websites and apps, data discovery, ROPA creation, consent management, Data Principal Request (DPR) handling, provision‑level audit findings and breach response.

Market Research Insight

ComplyDP’s “State of DPDP Readiness” research scanned 1,680 company websites and found that 82.4 % of financial‑services companies had no consent banner detected, underscoring a widespread lack of basic DPDP readiness.

Security and Certifications

The platform is ISO 27001 certified, meeting international information‑security management standards, a key requirement for BFSI buyers assessing vendor security and outsourcing risk.

Support and Ecosystem

ComplyDP is supported by NVIDIA Inception, Google Cloud for Startups, T‑Hub and the Department of Science & Technology (DST). It is also a member of the Data Security Council of India (DSCI).

Timeline and Call to Action

Given that discovery and mapping across multi‑entity groups can take several months, Vipul Abhishek, co‑founder and CTO, advises financial institutions to begin preparations now to ensure demonstrable compliance when the May 2027 deadline arrives.
